16AWG 4-Conductor Direct Burial Sound & Security Cable |600V | 1000ft | Tappan Wire & Cable | DBU-164-1K

Tappan's 16AWG 4-conductor direct burial cable delivers reliable audio and security signal transmission for underground and outdoor applications. Rated at 600V with dual UL certifications (TC-ER/CL3), this heavy-duty cable eliminates conduit requirements, streamlining installation costs and labor. The double-insulated PVC jacket withstands UV exposure, moisture, and temperature extremes from -25°C to 90°C, ensuring consistent performance in harsh environments. Fully annealed stranded copper conductors minimize signal loss over extended runs while maximizing flexibility. Color-coded leads and an integrated nylon ripcord accelerate on-site termination. This 1000-foot spool meets rigorous flame and safety standards, making it ideal for commercial PA systems, landscape audio, and security installations where durability and signal integrity are non-negotiable.

Features:
True Direct Burial: Double-insulated, heavy-duty PVC jacket allows for safe underground installation without the need for protective conduit.
All-Weather Resilience: Advanced sunlight, moisture, and UV protection ensures long-lasting performance in exposed, wet, or dry locations.
Dual-Rated Versatility: UL Listed as TC-ER (Tray Cable - Exposed Run) and CL3, making it perfectly suited for both rigorous industrial environments and residential speaker systems.
Time-Saving Installation: Includes a built-in nylon ripcord for quick, effortless jacket stripping, reducing labor time on the job site.
Pristine Signal Quality: Constructed with fully annealed stranded bare copper (Class B) for maximum flexibility and minimal power loss over long distances.
